summer of 09 update

Wow.... I can't believe July is almost half over. This summer has gone by so fast. I guess we've been pretty busy. At the beginning of June, We went out to Vernon for a fun family reunion. Jared's cousin brought out the cutest little pink fourwheeler for their daughter to ride. Kaden just had to try it out. Anyhow, he climbed on and began to ride.... The next thing I hear is Oh.. Kaden just bailed off! So I went out to make sure he was ok. Not so much. Michael was carrying him over to me. His arm was Broke. Jared and I raced him to the nearest hospital (Tooele). Kaden did so good. I was so proud of him. They had to sedate him to fix his arm so we were there for awhile. We had to keep his arm covered with a towel so that he couldn't see it while we were waiting. To be honest with ya... It was one of the grossest things I've ever seen. It's probably worse when it's your own little ones. I so badly wished I could have taken his place. He was so brave and hardly complained at all. I think I cried more than he did. Needless to say as soon as we were done at the hospital he wanted to go back to Vernon and play some more with his cousins. Kaden's x-ray... He broke both the Ulna and Radius bones. Don't worry... He's healing well.





I don't think having a broken arm has slowed him down one bit. We had to lock up the tramp and put his bike in the shed. He's still bouncing on my couches and jumping down the last 4 stairs. He gets his cast off tomorrow!!!! Yeah. We are so excited. I'm not sure if this has been harder on him or me. I'm just happy that he has done as well as he has.


We went to Gunnison for the 4th of July. It was so much fun. We had a great time at the city festivals, watching the fireworks and the parade. I think the funnest part was hanging out with my family. We had so much fun fishing and playing backyard baseball. It sure does make me miss the country and the mountains.
Kodie had a great time. She kept trying to crawl off her blanket and eat the dirt.

Stacy (my sister and best friend), and I trying to find some shade up the mountains.

Kaden cought 2 fish that day. It was so much fun watching him try to reel the fish in.




Jared's mom and I took the kids to Gardner Village to walk around and feed the ducks some bread. It was a great activity for them. Of course you can't go to Gardner Village without stopping at the candy store.


Kodie loved her sucker.... Man what a mess, but it was all worth it right




Well.... That's just a few of our summer activities. I guess that's enough to wear some of us out.

Hey Puke, your kids are growing up so fast. I still haven't seen Kodie yet. We need to get together sometime. I am in Draper now. We just moved into our new home. I sure miss ya tons. It looks like you have done some fun things. That is so sad that Kaden broke his arm. That was a crazy looking x ray. I hope he is doing good now. Take care.

Your kids are adorable! And I love the relationship you have with your sister...I remember when you guys would hang out at the apartment. Was it always like that? Did you guys ever have the sister-fueds growing up?
Looks like you had a fun month!

Holy Cow. You kids are getting so big. We need to have a bbq. By the way, the broken arm is awesome. Hunter broke both of his already. One the day we got his other cast off. Have a good one.
